Hostelworld siger
If you?re looking to explore the city centre, Books Hostel is a great base. It?s located in the cultural and historical surrounds of Lapa, near Centro, two metro lines and Santos Dumont Airport as well as some of the city?s most popular bars and weekend street parties. Guests tell us the ?laidback but upbeat? staff create a quirky, relaxed, family-like atmosphere which is ?very good for partying and getting to know Sta Teresa and the city centre and not just the beaches ? and if you want some beach, just rent their bikes and do a trip to Copacabana and Ipenema?. We like their cheap nightly caipirinhas.

The worst is behind.
When 2022 started, the fireworks at Copacabana beach announced the start of a new year. Nonetheless, for us it was hard to believe that the worst was behind. After two years barely functioning, the hope faded and the fireworks itself were not enough to make us believe that the year coming would be a travel back in time.
In the end of 2023, inside the ocean, looking up to fireworks, we were then sure that the hostel was back to its full force, that we once again found our reason to exist. He is alive, Books is alive. Yes, dear backpacker, we are ready to have you here with us!
For all those who helped us to stay afloat, and you know who you are, thanks a million. For those who do not know what Books is, come and find out.
Party Hostel? Books Family? Community Center? It is hard to define what Books is, and surely there no idea about what it means to be. Books is like a house or a living organism, it mutates accordingly to those who are staying, intending to offer whatever is asked from.
If we have any consistency? Yes we do. Our basic services will be here no matter what. Below a short description of it:
- Included All you can eat Breakfast. From 8m to 10h30 we feed our hungover kids with eggs, juices, fruits and more. If you arrive before check in time you can have breakfast for R$15,00;
- Luggage storage for free, if you arrive before check in or need to leave after check out;
- A bar from 7pm to 11pm with happy hour (2x1 Dangerous Caipirinhas from 7pm to 8pm). Shy people deserve a change to shine;
- Beer pong table and gadgets as long as you follow the rules (No game with water in the cup. Please do not insist);
- Room with air conditioning 9pm to 9am and / or when asked by guests;
- Organized Activities for the guests as hikes, football games and special days (St Patrick's, Kings Day);
- Good Wi-Fi in the whole building;
- Staff member from all around the world ready to give you advise about sight seeing, hikes, places to eat and more, a bed and / or another traumatic lost in beer pong;
All captained by Felipe, aka me, who is writing this, a person who is very motivated to provide a good time after spent two years scared that the place he love the most, Books, would close doors! Come here and, yes, have a great time. We are waiting for you without even know!
As said infamous Michael Risi: Books has changed my life. Come here and find out why!

Its hard to describe books hostel, and the rating wont do justice. Ive been traveling all around the world, but books hostel is with out a doubt the best. The location is perfect and i never felt unsafe. The staff might be ugly but always go the ekstra mile to help, and they sure know how to have fun. The atmosphere is the most important thing, and the reason why books becomes a home and the staff/guest your family. Money cant buy happiness but it can buy you a stay at books, and thats the same!

BEST hostel in the world! Everybody is genuinely kind, wanting you to have the best experience & not just to make money off you. Feels like a big family, always a fun, friendly, social atmosphere and the breakfast is amazing. Perfect location - way less touristy than Copacabana/Ipanema. Lapa is always busy, I could easily walk home alone from nights out, never felt unsafe. The only thing I regret is not beating Felipe in beer pong but I guess thats another reason to come back then! See yoooou

Books Hostel siger
According to our guests, what makes us different is the hospitality, atmosphere, the art around the hostel, our great experience recommending people to look for programs very different from Lonely Planets and tours, and the price we charge for the service. We like to host people, and we've a very high standard with this. We want to be better and better and we're never satisfied with what we have. We're constantly seeking new investments and new arts and we're always smiling. I think everyone that works here loves what they do. From the housekeeping to me, the owner, we all know how important is to work happy in order to provide a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere to the guests.
For fun, we allow people to bring alcohol and they basically drink, listen to music and talk. When guests go out they look for cheap places like jazz in the street on Wednesday nights and the Lapa Street Party.
We're set between Lapa and Santa Teresa. In the former we have lots of music places, the arches and parties, especially Friday and Saturday nights. The location is also quite central, not far from the beaches and much more real. As for Santa Teresa, it's a very lovely neighbourhood. Basically I think if someone comes to Rio to experience the real Rio de Janeiro, culturally speaking, we're ready to show them.
